The First Game!

On Wednesday June 11, 2008, I arrived in Dallas, Texas, which is absolutely beautiful and very hot and dry, and I met all of the members of the San Diego Chicken Crew. The crew includes, Ted Giannoulas (the Chicken), Dave Barac (Managing Director), and the two other interns, Joe Lim, from Sacramento, who is probably one of the best break-dancers that I have seen, and George Barajas, from the San Diego area, who is going to be a Hollywood stunt man someday because of his abilities to do anything! The crew is incredible and will definitely make this summer the best that it can be.

We did our first game yesterday, June 12, 2008 in Frisco, Texas (northern Dallas) at the Frisco RoughRiders at Dr. Pepper Park. It was a great experience, even though my duties today were to just be an observer to get familiar with my surroundings and the performance that would become my life for the next few months. It was a great ballpark in which it was very different based on everything. The facade looked like a Cape Cod beach house, the interior felt more like a outdoor metropark then an actual ballpark which was very different and unique. The bullpens were also off of the field and placed up in the stands, which I believe they originally forgot about bullpens and that was the only default place to put them :D

I will keep posting and will get pictures up very soon so y'all can see what I am talking about!
